Sorry for the absence, my kids finally took me down with the second to the last of the illness they managed to acquire last year. After that it was winter break, another round of fevers, Christmas and then I had to go back to work. Chapters are going to continue, but now that I am back to my paying job it is going to be at a reduced pace. I am going to do my best to keep everything on a monday, wednesday, friday schedule, but real life and family comes first. I am happy to see that we picked up a couple more followers and favorites in my absence and am going to do my best to keep the words flowing so the story can continue to grow. For now, I am leaving aside any thoughts of trying to monetize and am just going to work on improving my skills as a writer and am going to try to go back and fix the begining of the story while continuing to let the MC progress. I've been putting a little bit of thought into how I want to do that as I don't want to take several more weeks off to just rewrite everything up to here. Nothing lore wise will be changing, I just want to work on the readability of it and also try to tap into the emotional side more.

I hope everyone continues to follow along Jack's story and time and circumstances allow me to get another book or two's worth of material out in the coming year!
